"A simple remedy: deliver fresh air
Schools and hospitals and everywhere
Like the Houses of Parliament already do
One rule for us, one rule for you"

Apparently I could've written "like the WHO" there as well! if I'd seen this before I wrote the song...

"You came a long way on the power of charm
But none of that protects against a physical harm"

About politicians who are skilled at convincing people, while unfortunately much less interested in logistics or science!

All of us, by Single Bass

When I think about climate change, sometimes I think of the people whose job is to play it down and distract us.

There's that classic quote from a tobacco advertising dude in 1969, "Doubt is our product". Similar work, different topic.

It's a weird thought that people hire for that kind of creativity and other people get paid for it, even though they all live on the same earth as we do.

"You never realised you were a swan...". Original song with solo electric bass accompaniment.

Single Bass

Often when I'm pottering round the house or walking down the street, a little tune will come into my head, and sometimes I record those onto my phone or pocket dictation machine.

One day last year, I was sorting through those recordings and listening back to them, and I thought "this is a good one!"

And that became the chorus tune for this song :-)
